Hi, We have been in a dispute with e-on about our,very high,bills.
They have been very unhelpfull, Suprise Suprise!! in a nut shell we have now had payment meters installed,both gas and leccie. This is to pay off the existing balance plus our day to day usage,in total it will add up to approx £55 per week,this will finish may next year,how will this go down with the OR?

By the way our local supermarket is doing bogof on sausages,I have bought a freezer full.....any ideas on recipies!

rennes123

No,not yet,we are saving for the fees x

speak to eon an tell the you can only afford £5 per week to pay back and you are going BR

they may even pay your fees as some untility companys do

you have no choice but to include it

and yes as you are on pre paid - they will just set up a new account

philnicandamy

The account should be zero the day of your bankruptcy

BUT if you have a son etc on DLA have you spoken to them about your financial state? they usually will drop the debt ammount on the meter to a managable ammount

scottish power tried it on with me....after speaking to them the repayment on the PP meter dropped a fair bit

that must have been why BG did that for me years ago cos I kicked off and said its not my fault i was disabled and had to have time off sick

I havnt told them of our financial situation, its hard enough trying to get them to justify a £980 electricity bill (that is since feb this year) and no we dont have a bloody fish pond! All I wanted was to start paying off the backlog before it got any higher. They became quite abusive and threatened legal action,
in the end i suggested the meters, I didnt realise we could include it in the bankrptcy.....this is a constant learning experience!

And do as phil says and tell them you have a son on dla, they may drop the tariff and the debt quite a bit due to that x
